Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F and keep it on for all the steps. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the potatoes on the sheet, cut side down. Bake for 1 hour (and flip halfway) or until the flesh is very tender when pricked with a fork. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before removing most of the flesh. Keep the flesh for your next soup or mashed potatoes!
In a small skillet heated over medium-high heat, put the chorizo and drizzle with a thin stream of oil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly golden. Pour the chorizo and oil from the skillet into a large bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients, season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Fill the skins with the cheese mixture and place on the baking sheet. Put in the oven and bake for 15 minutes and set to BROIL for 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with green onions and serving.
